The Adelaide University Sailing Club (AUSC) is the oldest university sailing club in Australia, established in 1959 and hosting its first intervarsity competition in 1960.
A stronghold of Australian university sailing, the Club sails out of the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia (CYCSA) at North Haven, giving members access to vessels ranging from dinghies to large keelboats.
The club has a long tradition of producing first-class yachtsmen and yachtswomen, with many present and former members having competed in prestigious and challenging ocean races including the Sydney to Hobart, Teakle Classic, and the Three Peaks Yacht Race.
While the club still facilitates its members to compete in numerous state, national, and international races/regattas, the Club aims to foster and promote the sport of sailing to a wide membership. The Club specifically supports novices and intermediate sailors to learn and build their sailing abilities and can facilitate professional training and certification through the CYCSA.
The AUSC participates in regular, year-round yacht races in Adelaide. The Club also represents the University yearly at UniGames, Australia’s national intervarsity sporting competition.
In addition to the Club’s racing calendar, AUSC hosts many events including training days, cruises, lunches, quiz nights, and pub crawls! Information on these can be found via the 'Events' element.
